Monitor or Computer problem (video)

I tried your process again and it works while it is turned off but when you turn off the machine and restart, it starts jumping and clicking.  However, when I switch back to the computer monitor it is still at 640x480 at 60Hz so it doesn't seem to be switching resolutions on me.  Why does it work when I start with no monitor attached, hook up computer monitor and switch to 640x480 then unplug and plug in the arcade monitor?

I guess I can try the method you mentioned above of creating a new driver unless someone else knows what I am doing wrong.  Thanks guys

Because it's recognizing the monitor you're plugging in and going to the last resolution you had that particular monitor set at. Crate a new monitor profile and it'll work

Okay.  I found a tutorial at this website http://www.ramelectronics.net/powerstrip.aspx.  Just a quick question before I get started:  I have an integrated system (no fancy graphics card) how can I tell if my card supports custom resolutions?
From the website:

"To use Powerstrip, you must have a video card that supports custom resolutions"
